Jeannette discusses the phenomenon known as the "great CEO purge," highlighting the significant turnover of CEOs in the past year, particularly in the wake of the pandemic. With around 2,000 CEOs leaving their positions, including 375 from public companies, she looks at the importance of understanding the pressures and trends affecting leadership in today's business landscape.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There has been a significant increase in CEO turnover, with around 2,000 CEOs leaving their positions in the last 12 months, indicating a growing trend in leadership changes across various industries.
• Understanding the pressures and trends affecting CEOs is crucial for both current leaders and aspiring executives. This knowledge can help individuals navigate their careers and contribute effectively to their organisations.
• The skills required for CEOs have evolved, particularly in the context of technology and market dynamics. Modern leaders need to be tech-savvy and adaptable to stay relevant in a rapidly changing business environment.
• There is an increasing trend of interim CEOs who are brought in to manage specific challenges or turnarounds within companies. This shift reflects a broader change in how leadership roles are structured and filled.

BEST MOMENTS

"Around about 2,000 CEOs left their positions... if we look within public companies, that was close to around about 375 CEOs that left their positions."

"CEOs that did well during a more stable market are not the same kind of CEOs when businesses are flat."

"The average tenure of any CEO in business is around about three years. It's not very long at all in order to make significant change."

"Executive burnout, it's a very real phenomenon... there comes a point where sometimes a leader will have a revelation around there's more to life than just business."
